Frances Stainton

A striking original oil painting by the British artist Frances Stainton (1935-2025), entitled “Young Woman Lying Upon a Dais by the Sea.”

The painting depicts a reclining young woman resting upon a colourful draped dais overlooking the sea. The composition combines a classical reclining figure with a vibrant, modern palette, while the expansive coastal landscape provides a beautiful sense of space and atmosphere.

Stainton’s confident handling of colour and expressive brushwork give the work a distinctive modern British character. The richly coloured textiles contrast beautifully with the natural tones of the figure, stonework and seascape.

A particularly decorative and eye-catching original painting, well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
